I have been watching the chefs on the cooking channel just chop through vegetables as though it was easy, well it wasn't with my cheap knives.I went with this small Japanese knife because I have a small hand and didn't want the extra weight of other vegetable knives. This is a very sharp knife that really does the trick.Last night I cut paper thin slices of golden beets without any effort.Now I wonder why it took so long for me to buy a better knife. Wonderful product with a nice handle, too.
